Makes it easy to prioritize work and has good automation capabilities and reasonable pricing
For me, it was very hard in terms of the learning curve because I didn't know the language of project management. The last time I built something, I was still using paper. That's the last company I opened, so being able to switch my head from paper to digital, from physical files to digital files, took adjusting. They nowhere talk about that in any of the videos, instructions, etc. All of the software assumes you know how to use it, which is a problem, particularly for older users or for people who are starting something completely new or starting something from scratch. A mind-mapping function of some sort to help you when you first get in would be very helpful. That's the biggest thing because you don't know what you don't know, so you don't know if you're missing out on features. You don't know if you're missing out on anything. There are just so many things that can be dealt with. I wish there were more templates because having to start from scratch was hard with a lot of things. It was not as intuitive. I wish there was a board builder function that could take you through creating your board and ask you the automation questions. Something like that, which is hands-on, would be very helpful.

Highly organized, ideal for managing multiple projects, and inexpensive to use
We are using the solution for inner scrum projects. For example, if you have internal or external teams working on some software, you can use it to manage different projects across different departments. They can assign projects to internal or external resources and get reporting based on projects…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I love that Monday.com has boards that can change with a click from a list, to a calendar, to a form that you can send and collect data, etc."
"The appearance of Monday.com makes it easier to consume and digest."
"I am able to keep much better track of all current projects and each aspect of individual projects, which has helped to make team meetings a breeze."
"monday.com is an excellent tool to follow your project timeline to see where you are and where you want to go. It's super flexible. Thanks to all the automation, you can do practically anything with monday.com."
"The time savings alone is worth every penny and man-hour it took settings up the business profile."
"It's colorful and easy to learn to use for all types of employee positions."
"In short - it keeps a remote asynchronous team in sync."
"The templates helped me to kick off process solutions for our team."
"Zoho Projects is very flexible and user-friendly."
"It integrates so well with other Zoho applications, and that really helps to extend the features of Zoho Projects."
"The product can be seamlessly integrated into our CRM."
"We use the tool for our core business project. If we have a new site coming up, there are many milestones that need to be checked. The solution helps to ensure consistency."
"We can integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM."
"We can customize the tool."
"The timeline features are excellent."
"The product is very easy to understand."
 

Cons

"For others who have more varied assignments, some of which require collaboration with other team members, they might find Monday insufficient."
"The ability to build the dashboard and visualizations out of the data that is in the platform could be better. There are no color themes and no further customization on that front, so you cannot brandify or white label all the platforms to make it look more like your business rather than a generic one."
"The product could have more templates."
"It spams my inbox with many unwanted emails."
"Opening up a task and adding content/updates could be a little more organized visually."
"I would like to see is to have a brief explanation of what a certain function does."
"We often have problems with bugs and slow service."
"While great, the shareable boards lack some features that normal boards possess and that’s a big burden for us."
"The solution’s interface should be improved."
"Zoho Meeting definitely needs an improvement, because the quality is not as good as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which I've used in the past."
"The UI and UX must be improved."
"We'd like to have milestone features."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"It is not easy to drag and drop a task from one person to the other. I think the resolution for the issue is work in progress. The product's stability can be improved."
"The only room for improvement over here is a feature related to the trend, like AI-related things that we can expect need to be introduced."
"Zoho Projects' time log addition part can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using its free version."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"The licensing cost is not that high for monday.com. However, if you need an implementer, the cost is high because there aren't so many monday.com professionals."
"The solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"I think monday.com's paywalls are a little too high. Some basic features are locked behind the premium subscription. Some applications they offer within their subscription model are locked in an expensive package. These applications provide functionality that would benefit small teams, but it's too much money for a startup or a small business."
"Zoho Projects' costs are yearly and affordable."
"The Enterprise version costs INR 630 per user per month."
"The product is fairly priced."
"The product has different pricing models for different regions."
"The price for Zoho Projects is seven GBP per user per month."
"Zoho Projects is cost-effective."
"The solution is cheap."
